17. God has countless chariots;they number in the thousands.The Lord comes from Sinai in holy splendor.
18. You ascend on high,you have taken many captives.You receive tribute from men,including even sinful rebels.Indeed the Lord God lives there!
19. The Lord deserves praise!Day after day he carries our burden,the God who delivers us. (Selah)
20. Our God is a God who delivers;the Lord, the sovereign Lord, can rescue from death.
21. Indeed God strikes the heads of his enemies,the hairy foreheads of those who persist in rebellion.
22. The Lord says,“I will retrieve them from Bashan,I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
23. so that your feet may stomp in their blood,and your dogs may eat their portion of the enemies’ corpses.”
24. They see your processions, O God – the processions of my God, my king, who marches along in holy splendor.
25. Singers walk in front;musicians follow playing their stringed instruments,in the midst of young women playing tambourines.
26. In your large assemblies praise God,the Lord, in the assemblies of Israel!
27. There is little Benjamin, their ruler,and the princes of Judah in their robes,along with the princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.
28. God has decreed that you will be powerful.O God, you who have acted on our behalf, demonstrate your power,
29. as you come out of your temple in Jerusalem!Kings bring tribute to you.

35. You are awe-inspiring, O God, as you emerge from your holy temple!It is the God of Israel who gives the people power and strength.God deserves praise!
